Expected now that Jeb stepped down. His donors and people who were waiting things out before they gave their endorsement are going to go in Rubio's direction. Only problem at the moment is Trump. He'll still dominate until either Kasich and/or Carson drop out + Cruz.

Blows my mind that someone that has been such an irresponsible senator, missing most of the votes, is as close to the nomination as he is. Guess the lazy irresponsible tag doesn't apply to republican congressmen.

This gif was ruined for me when I found out what a piece of shit Ted's dad is.

He's probably looking at his son in disgust because he doesn't advocate the death penalty for sodomy or something.

Hate to break it to ya but... http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/post_10496_b_8544540.html

Honestly I'm really hoping Rubio gets the nomination despite the fact that I would never vote for him. I just can't stand the idea that one of these other jokers could possibly be president.

Really hope Rubio doesn't get traction, but I feel like it's already happening. Fingers crossed Trump still gets the nom.

Rubio will get traction because he basically was handed the Republican 101 talking points manual. He's extremely by-the-book and will do whatever they tell him to do. When it will be him VS Trump, it will all be about how Rubio is Reagan's reincarnation and Trump is an angry Democrat.

I hope Rubio wins, because he would lose to Clinton for sure. The usual Republican talking points can't get a candidate to win the GE.

I keep saying Rubio might end up with the Nom but people kept calling me crazy because Trump leads in most states. Fact is. The establishment wants Rubio now. He'll get a huge push.
 
The race should get interesting now that the party's money will go to Rubio. Rubio might actually win some Super Tuesday states.

.

Where?

Trump is leading in massachusetts

The southern states wont go to a moderate

Rubio may be able to pull off a victory in colorado or minnesota

Cruz would be so much better, almost the same Republican arguments plus a strident rhetoric which only works for a small portion of the electorate. Factor in his natural unlikeability and he's done for. It's a shame he plateaued already.
 
Man, do I miss R-money. That was good times. And Romney wasn't all that bad, compared to what we've got now.

Maybe that's a bridge too far, actually.
 
I had a feeling Rubio would be the one the establishment settle on. He seems more electable than the other candidates, with greater mass appeal and a more programmable demeanour, Eg he will basically do or say whatever they want. Trump on the other hand seems too unhinged and uncontrollable for them I'd imagine.

Both seem to have the ability to motivate voters tho. Scary times.

What do you guys mean about not being able to wait for Trump to call Rombey a loser? He has been calling out Romney since just about day one. It's one of the main points golf his campaign.

Of course the establishment is going to back Rubio now. His endorsements are gonna start pouring in this week. It isn't going to help a single bit either.
 
"Romney choked like a dog"

Trump needs to repeat that line. The reason why Trump sees such monstrous support is partly because of Romney with all his superpacs and being a typical establishment republican losing to Obama. It's going to help no one. They still dont get it. This might be an albatross around Rubio's neck depending how aggressive Trump is.

I really hope Rubio gets the Nom. Sheev might Order 66 my whole neighborhood if he even sniffs the Nom. Only George W Bush can save us now.
 
I'm getting nostalgic for the 2012 election. Sure, I supported Obama, but it was nice not spending months living in absolute, piercing fear of his Republican opponent.

Republicans finally came to the realization they should have came to about half a year ago. Rubio is -by far- their best shot at winning the white house. A Rubio - Haley ticket would honestly be pretty difficult for the Dems to beat.

This doesn't help Rubio. It hurts him in a three-way field with Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, in today's political environment.

Do Republicans care about or value Romney's opinion nowadays? I haven't heard peep from the man in AGES.

He actually talked about running for president again mid-2015.

Rubio is anti-LGBT (opposes same-sex marriage and probably wouldn't do anything at the federal level to stop anti-LGBT discrimination), is anti-abortion (in all cases, including rape), disregards our environment, wants to throw away progress made with Obamacare (who needs health insurance anyway?), and thinks people making minimum wage should just stay right where they are (pull up those bootstraps!).

He's also the most electable Republican candidate in the general election, according to the polls.

Rubio, and not Trump, is the man who I think we should be most concerned about.

Ugh, I hope Rubot doesn't get the nom. He'd probably be the most difficult candidate for Hillary to beat aside from Kasich. He's got that young, handsome face which people would mistake for non-crazy.

He got bodied by Christie on the national stage and needed multiple system updates after.


Hillary would devour his soul and never release it.

Romney seems like such a more reasonable choice now for republicans. I always thought the Obama elections would be as crazy as it got, but who knew we'd get what we have now?

With WAlker and Bush out of the race, Rubio is the only chance the GOP has at not losing in Nov. Kasich would be a good VP choice for Rubio.

Of course, Rubio needs to actually wins some states first.

His dad is even more extreme than Ted.
